I don't blame your son. I used to be a huge fan of his at Ohio State, but now he is playing for us. I get a nervous streak going whenever he touches that ball anymore.

Oh--don't get me wrong, I'm a fan too, and I think he's a great competitor. As a rule, can do some amazing things to be as new to this as he is.

In fact, I think he does a great job the majority of the time--it's just those few drops in key situations that makes me still hold my breath when I know he's gettin' the ball! lol

I'm sure with time, he'll become more dependable

LOL it is getting so I hold my breath until all plays are over and it doesn't matter who is touching the ball.

It's pretty bad when we all think that

ARE was like that too when he was a rookie. He carried the ball loose, made bad decisions on how he fielded punts in traffic, etc. Don't get me wrong.. Holmes in NOT El, but lets hope he turns out to be half as good in the Special Teams as El was.

Reid is the best bet on returns though.
